Latino Americans Are in Shock. Can Democrats Finally Do Something? via @NYTOpinionnytimes.com/2026/07/17/opi…
@nytimes @Christina_M18 @jrusstimes @JaceyFortin hate Hispanics, Latino Americans, and foreign nationals from Latin America.
They could not be bothered to format the victims’ names - the Spanish compound surname - correctly.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo = Mr. Salgado.

@nytimes @Christina_M18 @jrusstimes @JaceyFortin Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero is the complete name of the deceased person in Maine.
If his father is Omar Durán, then his surname is not Guerrero. Durán Guerrero, or Durán by itself, but not Guerrero by itself.
Clearly, @TheDemocrats hate America.
Sad !

A little over a month ago, Alexey Korshenko, director of the Sheremetyevo business aviation terminal (VIP Terminal A), was found hanged.
It was at this terminal that Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane was being serviced when a bomb was planted on it.

It was from this terminal that the founder of the Wagner PMC departed on his final flight, which ended in an explosion.
The body of 57-year-old Korshenko was discovered on June 6 in his apartment building on Flotskaya Street.

He had been hanged from the balcony. Understandably, the incident was immediately chalked up to suicide. However, his friends don't believe this theory.

@SomeBitchIIKnow He often does.
Passing along a warning from a mutual friend - don't visit Chicago. That's not directed against you, personally, L. Chicago has simply become a dangerous place for ANYBODY to visit, because police protection has been broken by the mayor.

@SomeBitchIIKnow There has been a wave of robberies in a number of the neighborhoods that tourists are likeliest to visit, that have been particularly concerning. The victims have been forced into cars at gunpoint, and then ordered to use the bank apps on their phones to empty out their accounts.
@SomeBitchIIKnow The victims that have complied have then been left on the curb by those robbing them, who have gone racing off, confident that they would not be caught, because Brandon, the not so beloved mayor, won't allow the police to engage in hot pursuit.
I posted a list of the 20 best foods on earth for metabolic health. Nobody argued about the meat.
They argued about the vegetables.
Spinach was the lightning rod. Broccoli drew fire. The replies were smart, passionate, and split right down the middle.
Half the audience said plants are essential. The other half said plants are poison.
They are both wrong. And they are both right. Here is why. 🧵

Plants are not trying to be eaten. They cannot run. They cannot fight. So they evolved chemical defenses. Oxalates. Lectins. Phytates. Goitrogens.
These are real compounds with real effects. They are not a myth. They are not a conspiracy. They are biology.
The question is not whether antinutrients exist. The question is whether they matter for you. And the answer depends on dose, preparation, and your individual biology.
That is root cause thinking. Not "plants good." Not "plants bad." Context.

Oxalates. The real issue nobody talks about.
Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods on earth. 970mg per 100g. So are chard, beet greens, and almonds. In high doses, oxalates bind to calcium and form crystals. Those crystals can cause kidney stones, joint pain, and urinary symptoms.
One person in my replies said she spent decades with an overactive bladder. Her doctor told her it was because she was overweight. She found the real cause on X. It was oxalates. Nobody in the medical system ever mentioned it.
That is not a fringe case. That is a root cause failure.

General Mykhailo Drapatyi is one of Ukraine’s most experienced combat commanders and represents the "new school" of Ukrainian military leadership. 1/10
A battle-tested general, his candidacy enjoyed particularly strong support from both Ukrainian civil society and the military. 2/10
He has earned a reputation for exceptional military leadership, a modern understanding of warfare, personal courage, integrity, and the ability to successfully conduct some of the most demanding military operations. 3/10
OK - now at USA v. Arrabaca, fire in front of 26 Federal Plaza yesterday, in big courtroom 23B. Arrabaca has 2 Federal Defenders but still no complaint. Inner City Press is covering the case(s) and will live tweet, thread below
4:48 pm
Arrabaca is brought out of the holding cell by three US Marshals. He is short, wearing eyeglasses. Look over at us reporters sitting in the jury box. There are four ADAs.

All rise!

Judge Robyn Tarnofsky: You have been charged in a Complaint. I have you financial affidavit. Did you sign it?
Arrabaca: Yes Your Honor I signed the affidavit.
Judge: I appoint Ms. Brown of the Federal Defenders to represent you.

Drapatyi is an excellent choice. As OTU Kharkiv and Luhansk, OSUV Khortytsia/Dnipro, and Joint Forces Task Force commander over the past two years, he brings a wealth of experience commanding units on most of the front line with a good understanding of the character of the fighting. As Land Forces commander, he also has recent experience in mobilization/training issues. Both are critical as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
As Land Forces commander, Drapatyi began to institute a series of reforms to improve the culture, including officers taking responsibility. Notably, after multiple Russian missile strikes on training areas, he submitted his resignation and took personal responsibility for the problem instead of deflecting. He set the example for his subordinates. 2/

Several of his brigade commanders praised his approach when he was OSUV Dnipro and Joint Forces Task Force commander. Instead of simply giving orders, he listened to their opinions, welcomed feedback, and asked them how he could support them. A common criticism from brigades throughout the war is that the General Staff doesn't properly support the units holding the front line or a sense that the General Staff doesn't have a full understanding of the situation on the battlefield, and gives orders with poor situational awareness. I suspect among the first things he will do is to ask Task Force commanders what they need, and ensure the General Staff supports them properly. I suspect this will have an immediate positive effect. 3/
Introducing “expenditure horizon”: a proposed method for measuring AI capabilities on continuously-scored problems.
The method compares performance as a function of spend for humans vs agents. The point where humans become more cost-effective is the agent’s expenditure horizon.
The method compares performance as a function of spend for humans vs agents. The point where humans become more cost-effective is the agent’s expenditure horizon.
Expenditure horizon requires us to estimate human performance as a function of cost, but lets us compare humans and agents fairly when the cost of experimental compute or agent tokens is significant. We can use it to e.g. quantify model progress over time:
As an example, we applied this to NanoGPT. We estimate the marginal returns to human labor as roughly $2500K per 1% optimization, from interviewing NanoGPT contributors. Using this estimate, the best models have crossover points (expenditure horizon) around $2-$3K, although models may be overfit to the public NanoGPT challenge.
1/ The 'SVOshnik' – a drunk, traumatised, violent veteran of the Ukraine war – has become a figure of fear in Russia. Russian journalist and activist Anastasia Kashevarova, who has fought for soldiers' rights, admits that some veterans are out of control. ⬇️
2/ Many participants in the Ukraine war have been discharged, usually through ill-health or in some lucky cases, having completed contracts. They have brought with them a wave of violence and crime, with even prostitutes avoiding them.
3/ A large part of the problem, as Kashevarova notes, is that participants in the 'Special Military Operation' (SVO) are often treated with deference by law enforcement agencies, leaving ordinary people vulnerable to their violent behaviour. She writes:
N-Acetylcysteine is a mental health marvel.
From anxiety, to ADHD, autism and even suicidal depression, it acts as a master mood stabilizer.

N-Acetylcysteine cuts OCD in half in clinical study.
Titrated up to 2.4g per day (as add on treatment).
NAC works here by reducing glutamate release from neurons.
This glutamate is responsible for "excitatory" brain processes, which in excess can contribute to OCD.

N-Acetylcysteine cut depression by >60%, anxiety by 50% in this paper.
1.2 g per day.
Excess glutamate in distinct brain regions can contribute to these feelings.
NAC's ability to lower it in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex contributes to its antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects.

99% positive I'll be walking tonight after 10:30pm so cops heck even non cops y'all can see me out there probably going to do my usual walk unless I feel like doing something new and different that I normally don't do might go to these spots if i go to the bridge I'll sit on it

why is AOCIA not saying a word about this despite having a huge platform, so that Massie, MTG and Ro Khanna are the lone voices mobilizing against it in the House? Is it perhaps because AOCIA's J-Street Israel lobby handler Matt Duss wants it to pass so that she can safely pretend to support "stopping aid to Israel" (the Netanyahu position) because they will have access to all US arms and funds indefinitely?
the answer from AOCIA cultists is "LULZ BUT SHE WILL VOTE AGAINST IT THOUGH LULZ" you dumb fucking idiot, she is not using her massive platform to mobilize against it, thereby proving she's actually delighted to see it pass like her J-Street lobby handlers
why are MTG, Massie and Ro Khanna the ones who are pointing this out? AOCIA just gave a bullshit token "ummm yeah I guess that's bad" weeks ago and hasn't talked about the most consequential bill in modern US history, because she actually supports it
